Beyond representation

The wider Airavata group

Airavata is growing into a group built around luxury hospitality and wellness. Every new line serves the same purpose: a stronger presence in India for the brands we represent.

Airavata Intelligence

AI built for the business of luxury travel

Travellers now ask AI assistants where to stay, and advisors lose hours to admin that a system could handle. Airavata Intelligence puts AI to work for advisors, agencies and hospitality brands.

For travel advisors

AI and sales training that takes admin off an advisor’s desk and gives them more time with the travellers they look after.

For agencies

A working second brain for the agency, with automated follow-ups, proposals and reporting built around how it already sells. Every engagement starts with an audit.

For hospitality brands

AI visibility, so your brand appears when travellers ask an AI assistant where to stay.
